Using PaintScout Offline

How to create estimates in PaintScout without internet connection using offline mode

PaintScout's offline mode lets you create estimates on-site without an internet connection. Your work saves locally and syncs automatically when you reconnect.

What does 'offline' mean?

When you use PaintScout online, your data is stored in the cloud. In offline mode, your information is stored locally in your device's browser. It syncs back to the system when you regain an internet connection.

How do I use PaintScout offline?

1. Login to PaintScout before you leave internet connection.
2. Pull up PaintScout and create new estimates.
3. Ensure that you are fully offline when on-site.
4. Build your estimate as normal. Save frequently throughout the process.
5. Reconnect to the internet and your estimate will sync to the system.

Offline mode only supports building estimates. You cannot send, search, or download while offline.

What if I am in spotty service?

Enable airplane mode on your device when coverage is intermittent. This ensures you are fully offline and prevents sync conflicts between online and offline states.

You can then save your estimate properly without interruption.
